Whether it's a hen party, stag party, birthday party, or just a party for the sake of partying, we've put together some ideas to make your event a memorable one.

Renting a self-catering house for a weekend (Friday afternoon to Monday morning), allows you and your friends plenty of time to travel and relax before the event. Choosing the right property is essential to making sure your party is a success.

Our large properties can sleep up to thirteen people and boast spacious living areas for mingling and dancing, large dining areas for formal dining, plenty of bathrooms and lots of parking.

Friday night could be a slightly quieter affair, where you and your guests could catch up on each other’s news, cook a meal together or order in takeaway.

Our heated indoor swimming pools are perfect for chilling out on Saturday before the main event. For the more adventurous of you, there are plenty of activities nearby, like clay pigeon shooting, golf, paint balling quad biking and surfing.

Want to look and feel gorgeous for the party? You could have some pampering from mobile beauty and massage therapists. The Pamper Company can offer massages, facials, manicures, pedicures and make-up.

On Saturday night, why not kick your party off with some cocktails? The Bartender Hire Company can provide you with your own personal cocktail bartender who will come to the house and make cocktails for you and your guests. You can even have a bartender and a butler in the buff, or a cocktail clinic where they teach you about cocktails and how to make them.

After cocktails, move onto an amazing dinner, cooked by your own personal chef. LAP Food and Bars’ Executive Chef Lin Pidsley is an award winning chef. Lin and her team can cater to your every need, however large or small. Our kitchens are well-equipped and spacious, making them ideal spaces for a Chef to work in.

If you’re looking for something different to do for your party, why not book a professional Murder Mystery dinner with Black Watch Entertainment? This involves professional actors mingling with you and your guests and acting out scenes where there is a murder committed that you have to solve. You could even get into character by making it fancy dress.

After the fun of Saturday night is over, you still have Sunday in which to relax and unwind before leaving on Monday morning. Perhaps a cooked breakfast and a swim, followed by a BBQ in the afternoon. While away the afternoon taking in the gorgeous views and talking about last night's party and a truly memorable weekend.
